What should I do about having eye wrinkles?
My skin has been very dry lately, and I've even developed crow's feet around my eyes. I'm worried they'll keep increasing and would like to know if there is any way to remove these eye wrinkles.

The appearance of eye wrinkles is usually related to factors such as aging, dry skin, ultraviolet radiation, and habitual facial expressions. When eye wrinkles become noticeable, appropriate treatments can be selected based on their severity.
If the wrinkles are not obvious, non-invasive methods can be used for improvement. For example, using eye creams and eye masks can help replenish moisture and nutrients to the skin around the eyes, helping to reduce fine lines. Applying suitable eye-specific sunscreen during daily outdoor activities can reduce UV damage to the periorbital skin. Ensuring adequate sleep and avoiding staying up late, increasing water intake to maintain proper hydration, and consuming foods rich in vitamins C and E can help fight oxidation and slow down skin aging.
If the eye wrinkles are more pronounced, consideration may be given to injections of botulinum toxin for wrinkle reduction. This method can paralyze the superficial muscles around the eyes, thereby reducing or eliminating wrinkles. For severe eye wrinkles, surgical treatments such as blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) or canthoplasty may be considered. These procedures involve making incisions in concealed areas to remove excess loose skin and achieve tighter skin and reduction of eye wrinkles.
